In this paper, an improved fault detection, classification and location estimation technique is proposed for such crucial transmission lines using the line end voltage and current measurements. . Inverter controls can be grouped into three categories: grid-following (GFL), grid-forming (GFM), and grid-supporting. GFL inverters are referred to as current control because the current is the physical quantity that is regulated. These tapped lines create protection challenges. Furthermore, it shows that the actual philosophy is inefficient in systems with high DG penetration level. . The grid connected large-scale solar photovoltaic (LS-SPVP) plants affect the performance of conventional distance relays protecting the interconnected transmission line.
